Nightmares and insomnia are both included in the diagnostic criteria for PTSD. So sleep is a bit of an issue for so many of us. If you’re dealing with PTSD in Manchester, sleepless nights happen–you know they are going to happen, so there are a few things you can do to help you manage yourself when they do.

So what do you what do you do?

1. Know that it’s going to happen (don’t get mad, just have a plan).
2. Keep a list of things for yourself to work on or do if you’re having a bad night. These should be things that get you “out of your own head” and into something positive.
3. Go to the gym.
4. Read a book.
